Flip Cassidy & the Junkyard Gospel - "Lord, I Seen Evil" from LET 'EM HAVE IT! Productions on Vimeo.

 

Rustic folk-rock. Gypsy blues-punk. A torrential sound created by musicians of wildly different backgrounds.

Music from the rusty junkyards, from mystical sand dunes, from dirty streets and no cleaner conscience.

From train tracks and hours on the road.

From long drives through the desert where men face their demons and fears.

From thin lines walked with confident swagger, and for those who drink whiskey in church.

From a love of the old, oft forgotten, the obscure and magical.

From a desire to revel in places and people, dented and rusty, dripping stories from the pores.

 

In others' words:

 

"If Johnny Cash were still alive, he'd be covering Flip." - Charles Russell

 

"Steam powered chain saw blues" - Sam Dlugach

 

"Outlaw folk, whiskey waltzes and shotgun blues" - Dan Brin

 

"Gypsy river band serial killer music" - Vanessa Ramirez

 

"The type of thing werewolves listen to in mid-transformation" - Rachel Raines

 

"like a musket fell into a whiskey barrel, aged, then rusted and came out intoxicated,

ready to ride a horse" - Tiff Rojas

 

"what happens when a couple of angels and demons meet at a dusty bar at a truck stop in the middle of nowhere -

you know, one of those ones with a rusty sign outlined with dirty yellow bulbs which sometimes flicker erratically -

and over a bottle or two of bourbon decide they've had it putting up with the childish quarreling

of their masters decide to give them both the finger and head to the Bayou in a '44 coupe

to get some fresh gumbo and start smuggling cuban cigars." - Dicky Brucks
